VANDALS.

—_ --

Tus city has nurtured a lot of vandals who now nightly prey upon the goods of its and commit all sorts of petty criminal acts. The police have no terrors for them ; they laugh at the idea of being sent to jail. They seem to be getting bolder and more numerous every day. What’s to be done? If two or three wore hanged and a few dozen well whipped, they might, perhaps, be deterred. And We think that it would be well to give tho Stipendiary Magistrate power to inflict corporal punishment in certain cases. A good seund whipping—either in public or private-—would, we think, do the most of the vandals good, and exert a deterrent in- Then we do want

citizens,

fluence over the others. A Reformatory. —_——ca least The Clergy and Sir John A. Mc- Donald.

Sir Joan has many warm friends among the Rowan Catholic clergy, one of whom re- sponded as follows to the invitation to be present at the Ottawa Banquet on Thursday last :—

GENLLEMEN oF THE ComMirrer,—-Allow me to thank you very sincerely for your invita- tion to the above banquet, and to express my exceeding regret at my inability tojattend. Circumstances over which I have no control prevent it. Let me say, however, as a priest of the Diocese of Kingston—the mother See of Ontario, and also the fruitful mother of Conservative bishops and Conservative priests —that | should esteem it an honor to be present on the interesting occasion. The couutry owes a vast debt of gratitude to the Rizht Hon. Sir John A. McDoa-

ald clarum et venerabile nomen-—and it should be our patriotic wish as Cana. dians that mo Marius may _ ever sit amid the ruins of a country which

the consummate ability of Sir John has tended so much to build up and consolid- ate. A statesman that any nation under the sun might well feel proud of, he has sheda halo of glory around this ‘‘ Canada of ours,”’ and its institutions. With the intuition of genius, he beheld, as it were, in rapt vision, the future greatness of our youthfal nation among tie nations of the earth. and with the god-like energy of genius he entered, and has coutinued to this day, upon the task allotted to him. Well and nobly has he succeeded, triumphiag by his powers of mind, ‘‘ which to him, indeed, a kingdom is,” over almost in- superable obstacles. His distinguished, daz- zling carver, as ‘‘ Canada’s first and greatest statesman,” is his best eulogy. Submitting that career to the most approved canons of criticism, can we forbear to proudly proclaim that the right honorable gentleman has, indeed, succeeded in erecting a monument perennius acre. Standing around the monu- ment, and gazing upon its pyramidal dimen- sions, let us hush the voices pregnant withithe solemn utterance: Word sare the daughters of earth; things are the sons of heaven. Standing around that monumect svcred to genius, let us with one accord cry out: Sir John McDonald found Canada ‘‘a skeleton, and clothed it with life, color and complexion ; he embraced the cold statue, and by his touch it grew into youth, health aud beauty.’ Standing around that monument, and gratefully recalling the recent legislation which rescued Canada migic-like from languor and decay, let peans of praise burst forth, for ‘‘He smote the rock of the national re- sources and abundant streams of revenue gushed forth. He touched the dead fori of public credit and it sprung upon its feet.” Standin, around that monumeut in view of the benefits innumerable conferred by Sir John up. our common country, « t us record ‘right solemnly” Canada’s vow for Canade's most illustrious son vivat in eternaum, Ili spirit wiil pledge at your banquct on Thursdsy: The Right Hon. Sir John Me- Donald, veteran jurisconsulé and statesman par exce‘lence—may his tenure of office be com- mensurate with life, and may a life so pre- cious be prolonged ad mulios annoa. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours very sincerely, Ww. J. Kewuey, Pt. (Formerly Chaplain under Bishop Horan, of Kingston Penitentiary, aud now Priest of Ennismore, in the County of Peterborough. -——-——- -« wmoe@m--— -—-—----- Swiss Wantina ro Comz To Canapa.—A Geneva cablegram of the 3rd says:—A shor: time ag» the Canadian Government placed at the disposal of the Swiss Federal Council $1,500 to defray the expenses of any exports whom they might recommend to report on the suitableness of Canada for Swiss emigrants. Grutli Verein, an important trades union, offers to send a deputation of workmen to Canada. The proposal will probably be re- ferred by the Federal Council to the Canadian Government. i tei daltneniontintio Tuz workingmen’s social in Ottawa is re- ported a great success. The attendance was

Penny Reapines.—The first (for season) of these pledsing sociable enter- tainments, in connection with S, Peters

School, took place on Thursday evening. Some of those who in years past helped to make the Readings interesting aud refreshing are ‘‘far away.” But their place has, in part at least, been supplied, while some of those who re- main have improved; and altogether the en- tertainment ef Thursday evening was well up to the mark. ‘The music, both vocal and instrumental was very good. Miss Palmer’s song was in fuller tone and clearer enuneiation than any we have heard her sing. It was quite delightiul to hear Mrs. Strickland again; and the fine voice of Mrs. MeNab was heard to advantage in her rendition of ‘The Chorister.”” An instrumental trio, by Messrs. Vinnicombe, Wilson and Watson, and and instrumental duet by Messrs. Vinnicombe and Watson were both fine. The readings were eufiiciently comic and shocking. Miss Smith’s was very fine. The following is the programme rendered :— 1. Chorus, ‘* Defence not Defiance” — Boys of 8. Peter’s School. Reading, ‘‘ An Exposition of ‘Old Mother Hubbard’ ”— Mr. E. J. Hodgson. Song, ‘‘Hark! the Lark’”—Miss Palmer. Reading, ‘‘ How Peter Gained his Suit’— Mr. Morson. Song, ‘‘ Milkmaid’s Song” —Mrs. Strickland Reading, ‘‘ The Black Cat”— Rev. G. W. Hodgson. INTERVAL. Instrumental ‘Trio, ‘‘ Meditation” by Bach—Messsrs. Vinnicomb, Wilson,and Watson. 8. Recitation, ‘‘ King Robert of Sicily” — Miss Smith. 9. Song, ‘The Chorister” —Mrs. McNab. 10. Reading, ‘‘ The Siamese Twins”— Mr. J. E. Haszard. ll. Recitation, ‘‘ The Vagabonds”— Rev. R. D. Bambrick. 12. Instrumental Duet, Fantasia on ‘“‘Le Pirate’—Messrs Vinnicomb and Watson.

Oo CoNsIDERABLE apprehension exists among managers of coal mines in Nova Scotia about the threatened demand for an advance of wages by men. Lately, Mr. Henry Poole, manager of the Acadia Uolliery, requested an interview with a number of his men repre- senting the workers on various séctions of the mines. Mr. Poole stated that he had called them together as it had been reported that it was the intention of the miners to ask an in- crease of wages in the spring, whether the price of coal went up or not. In reply the tea stated it was no part of the pregramme of the association with which they were connect ed to take any undue advantage of their em- ployers. Mr. Poole stated that it might be possible for him to make contracts, but he was uncertain what he should do until coming to an understanding with the men. The men replied that their demands would never be unreasonable and an advance in wayes would only be asked for after a rise in the price of coal. After a further interchange of views, Mr. Poole said he was satisfied and informed the men that should coal go up to 25 or 30 cents per ton he would be the ‘irst to advo- cate an advance of wages.

Mr, Parnett, M. P., AND His TENANTS. -= Says the Glasgow News, of Nov. 20.—A Bel- fast correspondent, telegraphing on Tuesday night, says :—‘‘ A letter has to-day been pub- lished, stating that adeputation from the ten- antry of Mr. Parnell, M. P., waited apon him and were told by that gentleman that he would meet them at the agent’s office in Dub- lin, and that the promised reduction of 15 per cent. would be allowed. When the deputa- tion called at the appointed time at the office, 7 neither Mr. Parnell nor his agent was to be seen; but the clerk gave the deputation to understand that it would be all right, and, ac- cordingly, a telegram to that effect was sent to Armagh, The tenants next day remitted the rents, deducting 15 per cent. The baliff has since gone round to all the tenants, giving back the cheques, and notifying the tenants that if the rent is not paid, deducting 74 per cent., by Monday, writs will be served on each fnon-paying tenant. The tenants have, therefore been compelled to comply with the agent’s Wishes.”

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,Pneumouia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No per- son can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to re- commend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at

10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by all Drnggists. os Senet aa aera entoaninea
